In this case you can see that not only are the kernels of different colors, but also that some of the kernels are smooth and some are shriveled. The shriveled kernels have a recessive mutation that prevents the formation of starch, so they accumulate sugar instead. As before, this ear comes from the F2 generation, meaning that its parents were hybrids for both kernel shape and color. Using the letter P for color and the letter S for texture, write the genotype of the hybrid parents: [A]

14) whenever diploid populations are in hardy-weinberg equilibrium at a particular locus a) the allele's frequency should not change from one generation to the next, but its representation in homozygous and heterozygous genotypes may change. b) natural selection, gene flow, and genetic drift are acting equally to change an allele's frequency. c) this means that, at this locus, two alleles are present in equal proportions. d) the population itself is not evolving, but individuals within the population may be evolving.
